@@yta7777777 It's there in the sim, and not to bad tbh, but I'm not sure if thats because it has already been done in the Wantock PNG pack. Even so, it would be nice to upgrade it with runway markers etc.
What a crazy place to land a plane.. and what an awesome place it is! Love the scenery and the friendly people.Looks like you're the main attraction for the day when you decide to come by for a landing :)
I appreciate the effort required to build and maintain the airstrip and also the effort to establish the pattern benchmarks to safely land on the strip. It is indeed a beautiful place and the waterfalls are awesome.
What an incredibly awesome place. Great plan to master this airstrip by yourself first. With your skills as a bush pilot in PNG, you did a great job. I'm sure the national people were wondering why you would land, leave and come back without shutting down. Great tok pidgin on the airstrip, and great drone footage.
The way you interacted with the locals was incredible. Apart from the top notch flying and decision making, you are an excellent ambassador for aviation and pilots alike! Very inspiring, thank you
What a terrific location, a bit tight but you made it look easy. That waterfall was something else. They have worked very hard over a long period of time to get that airstrip to what it is today. Reminds me of an airstrip I worked on back in the 70’s. Where SIL helped straighten an a airstrip. We had to do that by hand, but it proved more difficult due to the amount of rock, so a tractor, with a blade attachment, was dismantled and choppered in to finish it off. That too was a terrific location Imani airstrip. Thanks Ryan, yes it is a little stressful going in the first time……well done, God bless,…….Roger
Ryan, I have watched most of your previous iterations with interest. I have always been impressed with your flying skills, but more than that your commitment to safety. I have travelled many parts of the world engaging with government agencies for a variety of reasons. I have always treated every person I met with respect and acknowledged their local customs and their food (especially their food)! I was proud of what I did, but I am humbled by what you do. Not just your flying, or commitment to the people of PNG (our northern neighbors, so obviously an Aussie), but your command of pidgin and the mutual respect between you and the people of PNG is beyond definition. Keep it up, much respect. Trev
Hi Ryan Without getting into too much personal private life, what’s it like living in Goroka, just the ordinary day-to-day things that you experience, the community of the town, shopping, the township, services and facilities, accommodation for tourists, would really like to see a lifestyle type video outside of flying into the sides of mountains (AYYW) that I would have coronary failure with. Maybe a Saturday morning walk around showcasing the Goroka township. Love the content God speed to you and the work you do.
Wow!!! I’m working back through your content and have seen you land at Yawan multiple times. To see how you practiced the approach and very 1st landing was awesome. How you gained experience landing and taking off at Yawan multiple times shows how an experienced pilot gets more experience and fine tunes the approach and landing. The Buddy check box makes a huge difference to not missing anything with your practice today!!
I'm curious. Who pays for this service? Who paid for all of these scattered airstrips? And how do these people make a living? BTW, very impressed with your flying skills.
There's that one slew left on the first rollout at 14:00 that would increase my pucker factor: "a little slippery"! I've flown into a couple of strips with a slope, but nothing like 15 degrees or with terrain like that on approach. I've found the sight picture will mess with your head and just like you said, "fly the numbers". Job well done!
There’s a time to pucker, a time to relax..Boy that’s a tight little strip. Beautiful view though. You were right about the waterfall Ryan. I never get tired of riding along. Nice greasers each landing. Thanks again for the ride.
You are in such a tiny % of pilots that would ever fly in the bush‼️ such planning, thought and nerve. Great job. I was definitely tense with you on the first landing.
Great Video - what a trip! Favorite part was "Dont hit my wing on that rock over there", which I'm pretty sure was akin to saying "dont take out 3/4 of the village children over there..." 😲🤣 Thanks for the super content Sir! 🙏🏻
Very smartly executed. You analyzed all of the information available to you before hand and developed a plan to incrementally attack the task at hand including all imaginable contingencies. Excellent airmanship!
Nice flying to beautiful place practice makes perfect sense for everyone’s safety I have never flown in a small plane only passenger jets the first flight I had was on the beach at Southport U.K. in the 60s when my dad thought it would be good if he took is two sons up in a helicopter in was a mash type bell in most of cost him a weeks wages back then it was like going up in a fast lift my dad fought in and was flown from India by glider his pilot was Jackie coogan the actor when the Adams family he always reminded us the fact when uncle fester appeared on the screen when we landed he told the pilot if we had these aircraft in jungle a lot more of the wounded men would have been saved when i was young I never dreamed I would been able to travel no my holidays to Jamaica so air travel over my life time has brought me happy times 😊
Beautiful place! I've watched a lot of your videos over the years but probably enjoyed this one more than any other. Really shows what piloting is all about and your skills in this kind of bush flying. Please, find a few more 'virgin' strips.
Your memory amazes me. God has truly given you a gift that enables you to enhance your skills. I ran a business for 33 years in printing. I was blessed with an ability to excellent in that vocation. I had major burnout 12 years ago and haven't recovered. To those who are led, I covet your prayers.
Great airmanship demonstrated in your attitude to approaching a tight situation in a beautiful, distracting location. Thank you for showing this place.
That was a crazy complicated days flying! Thanks for sharing it with us - your filming and editing make it so real! Yawan is an absolutely stunning location and that is one heck of a circuit and landing! You were tense leaving Dinangat and it was wonderful to see how carefuly you felt your way into the circuit and landing when flying slowly and so close to the terrain. After completing the first landing the de-breifing you gave yourself was a real insight into the pressure you had been flying under. By the end of the video you were relaxed and confident about Yawan - a good days work. The runway walk was very interesting too. Great video - thank you.
Three weeks ago I thought taxiing is when you call a taxi 🚕 to drive to something 😂, now I have learned so much and can‘t wait to learn more. My heartrate was way above 100 after landing that first time at Yawan with you. I love the way you fly and teach us. Great job. Have you ever flown a water airplane? Maybe that’s a good way to try out at your other favorite Kabaramba 😎🛫👍🏻. Is this than called a „waterstrip“? 😂
Incredible 😮😮! I watched this while in gym, and I have to say that I did my cardio by just watching your flight. Very inspiring and once again thanks for sharing these videos. Warm regards from quite flat Finland.
magnificent airmanship in a truly glorious location, and lovely to hear from the people. Thank you Ryan. My wife has covid and your post has been a welcome relief from reality, which is not a lot of fun at the moment
@@MissionaryBushPilot thank you. This is the third time we have had it in the house but as I live with motor neurone disease we have worked very hard to make sure I don't get it. God bless, Rick
I’m intrigued to know what the process is for choosing locations and specifying work for new airstrips. Most of your sites seem to have been magicked out of impossible terrain.
Ryan, that would terrify me but I love seeing how you calculate everything and think it through. I'd feel very comforted if I was a passenger in the back. Do we just take it as given that we don't need to keep saying how beautiful PNG is?
Hi Ryan, I throughly enjoyed you testing the Yawan circuit heights to find the sweetspot, and the landscape is just superb from your wing and tail cameras. Flying slow and stable in confined valleys just suits the performance design and ability in the Kodiak, with the added superb forward and reverse pitch performance of the powerful PT6. Very smooth and accurate flying. I would have enjoyed doing this so much, some 20 years ago! Cheers from New Zealand, David
Great work, I've been spoilt flying mostly tarmac runways in 152s, PA28s & Beechcraft light twins. I'd love to move into bush flying, seems like it's always challenging you and keeps it interesting rather than going to the airlines.
Awesome video. What a beautiful place. The drone shots are truly one of a kind. Is there a name for the dialect you are speaking with the guys who built the runway? Also, do you ever have to worry about having an over-excited kid running onto the runway while you are taking off or landing, or any time the prop is spinning?
If someone wants to model Yawan for FS2020, let me know and I can get you the details to create it. ryan.missionarybushpilot@gmail.com

i absolutely love looking at the smiles you get when you speak tok pisin.
Oh boy it's Sunday night, kids tucked in. Time to pop a cold one and enjoy a half hour of amazing content by a expert as his craft!
I appreciate the effort required to build and maintain the airstrip and also the effort to establish the pattern benchmarks to safely land on the strip. It is indeed a beautiful place and the waterfalls are awesome.
So stressful watching these landings. Absolutely no room for a mistake
it is called "stabilized approach". The key to life.
I had sweaty palms on that 1st landing. Just so impressed with your flying abilities! Carry on
My goodness love my modeling days are quite over
I'm always amazed that no locals get onto the runway (even kids)
Not this time. Next time I went out there I almost hit chickens on the runway
Ryan, of all the approaches I’ve watch you do, I have to say your assessment was correct. That approach was stressful just to watch. Great job sir.
What an incredibly awesome place. Great plan to master this airstrip by yourself first. With your skills as a bush pilot in PNG, you did a great job. I'm sure the national people were wondering why you would land, leave and come back without shutting down. Great tok pidgin on the airstrip, and great drone footage.
Great point. I thought the same thing. I'm sure they're used to it. Not John Payton missionary to the cannibals. There's a great book about him.
Your professionalism is impeccable as always.
Beautiful new location. Thanks, Ryan.
Much appreciated!

Wow! That was some flying! Your ability to stay ahead of things is amazing. Thank you for the waterfall drone footage. That waterfall is world class!
my favorite part is when you didn't know pattern altitude amongst the needy. that was cool that you recovered

I'm from Morobe Province and just seeing you providing services to my province just make me feel Happy. You're flying above the Sarawaget Mountains
Gee that waterfall was spectacular. These boys certainly play the long game when it comes to building these airstrip, Great story, great video.
Just had the most 30 minutes of fun I've yet had in the Kodiak in MSFS recreating this amazing flight. That is some approach!
Benchmark video for why this is so difficult when there is no room to touch and go and go around.
I'm curious. Who pays for this service? Who paid for all of these scattered airstrips? And how do these people make a living? BTW, very impressed with your flying skills.
Omg Ryan....you certainly never have a boring day!God bless
No I don't, that's for sure
Awesome. Show more about the people and how they live..

You aced it! Excellent video!
I want to hear you speaking the local language more. I'm now off to go look it up, absolutely intriguing mixture of languages!
yes it's about 75% English, but in a different order than English
It seems to be something called Tok Pisin!
@@MissionaryBushPilot There's a name for this language?
Cant get enough of these videos, Thanks Ryan.

a lot of the places, the community has self initiative to build the strips, others like this one were started by missionaries
Great shootin Tex. Glad to see the go arounds to work the altitude sequencing down to get a better solution.
